title: [Genetic diversity of populations of the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus (Hoffm.) (Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae)].
abstract: The genetic diversity of Lumbricus rubellus Hoffm. earthworms collected in different parts of the Moscow and Kiev regions was studied by means of electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel, using the loci encoding unspecific esterases and generic proteins as biochemical-genetic markers. A considerable diversity of samples in all alleles of these loci was revealed. With respect to allele frequencies of the locus My1, the samples from the Moscow and Kiev regions formed two genetically distinct spatial groups. Within these groups, the samples were genetically heterogeneous, and each of them could be regarded as an individual population.
